This will likely be Ulsan HD’s best recruitment this season. After his transfer, he quickly became a member of the team, established himself as a housekeeper, and displayed impressive performance with his uniform number “7.”
Ulsan won 2-1 at home against Gangwon FC in the 36th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Ulsan Stadium on the 1st thanks to consecutive goals from Rubik’sson and Joo Min-kyu.
As a result, Ulsan beat second-place Gangwon (61 points) by seven points with 20 wins, eight draws and eight losses (68 points), confirming its league championship early regardless of the remaining games.
It has lost three consecutive games. Ulsan, which has established a new dynasty, has become the third team that has won three consecutive games or more after Seongnam Ilhwacheonma and Jeonbuk Hyundai, the predecessors of Seongnam FC. Ulsan had ups and downs including the departure of its main players and an unexpected change of coach, but since Kim Pan-gon took office, it quickly reorganized its team to take the lead and regained the lead, surviving the competition to win the trophy.
“Thank you to the players who showed great performance today. Congratulations on your victory,” Kim said after the match. “The players showed decisive performance at the stadium. Thank you very much,” Kim said. “Although there were difficult times, I was able to overcome them because the players always trusted and followed the coach’s words well.”
Of course, goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo is responsible for Ulsan’s victory this season, but the role of transfer student Ko Seung-beom is also important. Ko Seung-beom left Suwon Samsung this season to wear Ulsan’s uniform. After moving, he quickly adapted to the team and established himself as a housekeeper with active activity and struggle.
This season, Ko Seung-beom had three goals and three assists in 27 games. He was not an overwhelming offensive point, but he was as pure as he was. He helped his team by scoring points at every important moment, including a free kick goal against Pohang Steelers in June, the winning goal against Gwangju FC in August, an equalizer at home against Gimcheon Sangmu, the first goal against Pohang, and an assist to help Rubik’sson score against Gangwon FC. 먹튀검증
Ko Seung-beom, who confirmed his victory in the match against Gangwon Province, seemed a little puzzled and did not realize that he would win the championship. “There are still games to go. It doesn’t feel real. If the rest of the schedule is completed, I think the championship will be more likely to come. Still, I feel good. I feel like I can feel less relieved,” Ko said.
He experienced relegation last season and won this season. Despite the very different situation, Ko declined to comment. “I think it would be sensitive to talk about Suwon,” Ko said. “I moved to Ulsan with more earnestness than anyone else when it comes to winning the championship. There are so many Ulsan players who have a winning DNA. My role here is to help with even more earnestness. I paid a lot of attention to that. As a result, I think I was able to win the championship and there was a synergy effect. I am very grateful to my teammates.”
On his life in Ulsan, he said, “Personally, I still feel that I am not good enough. I don’t think I have grown up much. Since I played a lot for the team, I think I should demonstrate my personal skills and empower the team.”
